When you’re going on a business trip and finding yourself wondering if that’s your flight crew, or some kids on their senior trip.
(C’mon LSLGuy, surely you’ve experienced this?)
People born in the 90s can drink legally now. Depressing as fuck.
When the local radio station does a “Top 20 Albums Released 20 Years Ago” list and you vividly remember buying many of them in high school right when they were released. I’m looking at you, “Nevermind” and “Blood Sugar Sex Magic.”
My boss was born after Star Wars was released.
so true…
mine:
needing glasses
hbp
pills for hbp
menopause
pills for menopause
arthritis in neck
back aches
to be continued.
Let’s not leave out veiny hands, and wrinkly fingers.
My favorite was the night I came home from physical therapy, all excited to have my shiny new cane, because it meant I didn’t have to hobble around at work with a walker and would actually be able to, say, get myself a glass of water. The second I hobbled in the door, I got telemarketed by a cemetery marketing pre-need planning.
(I was still in my 20s! It was post-surgical rehab! I swear!)
Age spots, scars, gray hair, almosr deaf, forgetful, tired, sleepy.
I hesitate to bring up the subject, but…wrinkly cleavage. I can hoist my still formidable girls up with a cantilvered bra for display…but should I? Should I just go for the basic black sheath with diaphanous black neckline and sleeves, like the Golden Girls often wore?
When you can remember going to see Star Wars with all your friends when it was released…and having to rush home afterward to take the babysitter home.
All cleavage is good cleavage. Hoist them girls up high!
When you have no problem sitting on the floor, but have to grab something to hoist yourself back up, and you make that grunting sound as you get up.
:D;) Will do! They actually do have a few more good years to show themselves in public!
When the clothes you wore as a teenager come back in style. Yesterday I saw a young couple in the thrift store looking for 1960’s clothes. I gave them some advice, and realized “I’m old as hell.”
Or “hoist them up for parades”, as Tina Fey says in her book.
.
A few years ago, a young woman (18-19 yrs , or so) whom I work with innocently asked me “You know thos phones with the spinny things on them, how dod they work?” I started telling her about crank telephones (which I assumed she meant, even though they predate me by a generation), and she said “No, no… the spinny thing you put your finger in…”
She had never used a dial phone.
She had seen them in “old movies” and wondered exactly how one used them.
Sigh… I felt old then, and , sheesh, that was a few yrs ago…
…you realize that when you were born there weren’t even 50 States yet.
How about “When the local radio station does a “Top 20 Albums Released 20 Years Ago” list and you …” have never heard of any of them because your album-buying and top-40 listening years ended a decade or more before then.
I’ve always wondered what being “older than God’s parents” meant. This might be an example.
When everyone on prime time TV is younger than you are.
